Ice-covered interior
Most of the island lies under an ice cap, so the interior is nearly featureless on the map, a large pale shape inside the coastline.

About this Alexandra Land map poster
Alexandra Land is the westernmost large island of Franz Josef Land, in the Russian high Arctic. Most of it is covered by an ice cap. Its outline is broad and lobed, and the coast is often formed by ice cliffs or bare ground. Roads are almost absent, so the map shows a white landmass on a white sea divided only by the shoreline.
The island is home to Nagurskoye, one of the northernmost airfields and military bases in the world. During the Second World War a German weather station operated here secretly. Its remains were found long after the war. Today the island is part of a protected Arctic area, but it is still reached mainly by military and scientific missions.
An Alexandra Land map poster is about outline and emptiness. There is no grid, few features and a long coast that seems to disappear into the surrounding sea. It suits people drawn to polar exploration and places at the edge of the inhabited world.
